Proteins degradation provides free amino acids, which may be further degraded by deamination and transamination in order to synthesis new compounds, produce energy, or eliminate waste. Provide a brief description for each of the possible fates of free amino acids with specific reference to biochemical reactions and state how the products of these reactions may are utilized.

1. an enzyme is considered a(n) because it speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.2. in a catalyzed reaction, a reactant is often called a(n) . an enzyme is specific because the shape of its matches only particular reactants.4. an enzyme speeds up reactions by lowering the . the between an active site and its substrate often strains bonds and the reaction proceed.6. a( , which is often a vitamin, binds to an enzyme and plays a role in catalysis.7. high temperatures or changes in ph can an enzyme, causing it to lose its shape and biological activity.
